I have a McIntosh 2100 (circa 1972) and a C26 McIntosh pre-amp and I play a lot of vinyl folk-rock and country rock. The C26 pre-amp has an adjustable center channel output that works perfect with the SA-WM250 to give rich extra bass to my speaker system without overkill in terms of the kind of music I enjoy. Several young sales people in modern places like Fry's and Best Buy told me using a center channel for a sub-woofer would not work because the center channel was dedicated to mid-range, but they were thinking in terms of modern surround systems and digital receivers. As some audiophiles have discovered, older, over-produced systems like the McIntosh prior to the 1980's and vinyl have a distintive richness of sound. My Sony Subwoofer works perfect with it.

Very good subwoofer for the price. Expected to pay a lot more for my replacement unit.

The Sony SA-WM250 100-Watt Active Subwoofer is awesome, and reasonably priced. Now my home theatre system is complete and it sounds absolutely great. All the kids come over now to watch movies, eat popcorn, candy and hotdogs. They love the new sound from the subwoofer. It really sounds like you are in a huge movie theatre. I definitely recommend this subwoofer.

AWESOME SUB AND FOR THE PRICE CANT BE BEAT!! HUGE BASS < ENOUGH TO HOLD UP IN MY 20 x 16 FOOT ROOM GREAT GREAT DEAL!!

To add a little extra to the bottom end of my garage stereo system, I bought this Sony sub to augment a Bose Acoustimass speaker system. The front side power switch adds a bit of flexibility as you can power it down easily if you really don't want or need the extra low end. For under $100 it's got to be one of the better sonic improvement bargains you'll ever find.
